WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY..

"My therapy sessions with Sudha have been phenomenal for my well-being. What I most appreciated about her approach was that it was never patronising. Instead, it enabled me and capacitated me to bring to the surface, my own values and take action towards a more value aligned life. Patient listening driven by respect for the client’s intellectual and introspective abilities is a rare, yet perhaps, the most valuable form of therapy that I’ve ever come across. it’s exciting to hear that this approach is expanding into a team, and I can’t recommend Raabta enough."

"I began my journey with Sudha at a critical time in my life and the experience has been transformative.  Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) came as a refreshing change, especially after grappling with the exhaustive psychoanalysis involved in previous therapeutic approaches. Unlike those experiences that left me feeling clueless about personal growth, the core ideas of ACT have proven to be empowering rules to live by. 

Sudha's non-judgmental approach creates a space where I can openly discuss my thoughts and feelings without fear of criticism. Her candid and genuine listening style is devoid of the typical 'therapy speak' that can sometimes make therapy feel artificial. This authenticity fosters a level of comfort that I haven't found elsewhere. Each session leaves me feeling not just heard but genuinely empowered. I have experienced tangible progress and personal growth under Sudha's guidance. 

I wholeheartedly recommend Sudha's team and the ACT approach. In fact, I've already recommended Raabta to multiple friends, and they look forward to embarking on this journey of self-growth."

"We worked with Sudha as a couple to learn how to communicate better, how to resolve conflicts and to process some big life changes that we were experiencing at the time. Our experience with Sudha has been great and we have found Sudha to be kind, patient, highly knowledgeable and skilled. She navigated the contours of our relationship and our personalities masterfully. She has the ability to reach to the bottom of the issue and then gently redirect us towards productive solutions. In this journey, we have particularly appreciated Sudha’s practical and realistic approach to life’s complicated situations. She provided us meaningful support during the sessions and also shared material and resources that we could use in the long run to deepen our inner work individually and together. We wholeheartedly recommend her as a therapist and wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors."

"I've been consulting Sudha for a while now and she has helped me sail through tough times on several occasions. She is a great listener and extremely empathetic. She provides thoughtful insights and has added a lot of value in steering me in the right direction."

"My experience with Ms. Sudha is still building and has been a transformational journey. I sought therapy for chronic anxiety. With immense patience and empathy, she has worked through acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) with me. Along with her guidance in the sessions, what particularly helped me were the exercises and resources she shared along the way which have come in handy for regular practice. Her recorded voice notes and resources on ACT have helped me understand my pain points and take action towards what matters to me. I look forward to advancing further!"

"I am very grateful to have Sudha as my therapist. I appreciate her therapy style (ACT), where the focus is on building skills to handle difficult thoughts and emotions. I struggle with anxiety and depression. After interacting with Sudha, I feel less afraid of these states, and feel equipped with tools to build a more fulfilling life. In addition, I appreciate that Sudha really cares about you and is non-judgemental (for example, even when being persistent on the use of these tools :))."

I highly recommend taking Sudha’s help with mental health issues. She was helpful and empathetic in the sessions I took with her. She had a very open and progressive mindset that made it easy to broach difficult topics. I experienced a lot of improvement in my overall wellbeing and reduced anxiety after taking sessions with her.

Sudha is very passionate about what she does. She is very well informed about the different therapy modalities. Her eclectic approach to therapy means that she can tailor her therapy to suit a client's personality. I have learnt a lot from her.

I started seeing Dr. Sudha Shashwati as I had been putting my mental health issues on the backburner for several years and had finally wanted to start dealing with them. I specifically needed tools to deal with my depression, anxiety, grief and childhood trauma. 

 My experience so far has been wonderful. As someone who tends to intellectualize my feelings and primarily live in my mind, Dr.Sudha through the framework of ACT has helped me realize ways in which I can practice mindfulness, get in touch with my emotions and take steps towards living a value aligned life. She has helped me make intentional progress towards my goals and made me more aware of my patterns of behavior. I really appreciate her patience and gentle guidance in this entire process. 

Therapy has been an immensely helpful in making me more cognizant of my inner thoughts and has provided me a safe space to explore my emotions. I started therapy at the age of 30 and in hindsight I wish I had started much earlier.

I worked with Dr. Sudha in 2022 when I was having trouble dealing with thoughts that made me anxious. She is a very good and patient listener and it gave me some good tips and practices that I will take with me! 

Started taking therapy a few years ago and was really impressed by the results. Still my go to therapist in case of anything. Highly recommend Raabta and looking forward to their future endeavours.

Sudha is an amazing therapist and helped me a lot by providing the right tools to manage anxiety and bringing peace. She structures the session based on the pace of my progress. I’m very glad that she can provide me with right book recommendations, which I highly value. I have always personally recommended her services to friends and family and will continue to do so. It is very rare to find a therapist who is right for you and I’m glad to be with Sudha for last three years. Life has changed a lot since then but she has helped me through all of it and satisfied my intellectual curiosity.
